This is the main service offered by thunix; SSH (Secure Shell) is typically used to access the server remotely (with the help of a terminal emulator program). This allows users to execute command-line programs & utilities for programming purposes (as is the case with compiling C programs using GCC, creating web pages with vi, etc.,) or for leisure (as is the case of playing the game Angband, using an account to download files with aria2 for later retrieval, etc.). Each account has the following software available: GNU/Linux & Mac OS X users have their own terminal emulator programs built into their operating systems (in the form of command line programs,) while Windows users who use Windows XP & older are fortunate enough to have HyperTerminal included with their operating systems.
This is the other service provided by thunix. The web server used is Apache. There are no limits on storage, number of Databases, CPU Cores or RAM or whatsoever and there are no Ads at all!

Terms of Service & Privacy Policy Nothing is without its rules & regulations; thunix is no exception. Below are the site's service terms & privacy policy. Everything in this page should be clear to everyone who wishes to use thunix's services, especially the service terms; failure to abide by them can result in such penalties as service bans & even legal action, depending on the severity of a violation. Be sure to read the terms carefully & understand them. Terms of Service thunix relies on the common courtesy & consideration of users to make its services fair for everyone. The following offences will result in a service ban: Items 4, 5, 6 & 7 may also result in legal action against any offending users, depending on the severity of each case & any other individuals who may have been affected. It's also expected that all users respect the copyrights of those who produce original content of any kind. However, using accounts for external file storage is permissible, under fair use & other laws promoting consumer rights. Note that original content from other users must also be respected, though creating/sharing public domain content is highly encouraged. Privacy Policy Privacy is a major concern for everyone. thunix respects the privacy rights of others & refuses to collect/store/distribute anyone's private information, except when necessary; thunix collects usernames & encrypted passwords for account registration purposes only, while logging IP addresses for server administration & policy enforcement purposes. The privacy rights of individual users may be overturned ONLY when it is known that they have violated the service terms; this is done strictly to uphold the service terms as well as the law.
